Home Grown Music Collective presents 'Boxstock' - Official Launch!

Posted by Roosterman on March 8, 2011 at 8:39am

Its been a long time coming, but we are finally there, and Friday 18th March is going to be a very special day for the UK cigar box scene.

 

After 4 months of hard graft, blood, sweat and beers, the HOME GROWN MUSIC COLLECTIVE will be officially launched, along with details of the much anticipated 3rd annual UK Cigar Box Festival, 'Boxstock'!

 

 

Im not going to say much more at this point as I dont want to spoil the big news, but there is plenty of info regarding the Collective both on the website www.homegrownmusiccollective.com and in the original discussion here 

 http://www.cigarboxnation.com/group/thebritsarecoming/forum/topics/your-group-needs-you 

 

Collective membership will be opened on the 18th, so make sure you check back in and join up to receive your membership card, 2 x free HGMC plectrums, 2 free stickers, and a voucher entitling you to a £5 discount off the price of an all day 'Boxstock' ticket!

    I'm delighted to announce that Kevin Brown will be doing a showcase spot at this year's Boxstock.  If you want to learn how to play slide with soul and feeling, Kevin is your man..and what a slide tone!.... I went to Kevin's slide guitar school a few years ago, and it changed my life..well it certainly changed my playing.  I know some people on here caught him at Upton Blues Festival recently and were very impressed.

    Yes..I really wanted her to play a showcase spot..but fear not...looks like I've managed to get Daddy Long Les for a strumstick workshop. If you've not seen his stuff, check him out on here and  YouTube..amazingly creative stuff with the diatonic fretted cigarbox guitar.

    Thats a shame that Bemuzic cant do a workshop.

     

    Cant wait for the membership pack to get here though :)

    I'm ahead of you there,  I had already asked Belinda, but unfortunately she won't be able to make it to this year's event.

    Sorry CBJ, it's all my fault for mentioning my wife... it's complicated matters.....

    On an unrelated bonus, someone just offered me some more oak (and I felt bound to offer them a completed cbg in return).... more necks on their way..... woohoo!
